Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I need a bit of help.

I dont know if it's possible using Powerpoint - but can I put any square
image that I have such as a photo into a circle or any of the shapes availble?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. Draw your shape using PPT's AutoShapes. Right click on the shape, then
browse to your image.

I have tried to do that but it doesnt work, do you mean say: get a circle
from the autoshapes and than right click to insert a image? :)

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. Right click on the autoshape that your just
drew. Select Format Auto Shape, then
Select File > Color > Fill Effects
Click on the Picture tab
Click on Select Picture, browse to your image...

Is that better?

What I am having problems with is when I draw a circle or whatever the shape
and than right click.. there is no 'insert picture' option there just 'edit'
cut' and so on.. :)

Thanks

There won't be an "Insert Picture" option. You need to click on Format Auto
Shape then follow the previous instructions.
